Remember the Halbig case? If not, catch up right now by re-reading this post from January, written after a D.C. district court judge ruled in Obama’s favor. O-Care is a famously complex law but the lawsuit that could end up demolishing it is surprisingly simple. In a nutshell, there’s a line buried deep in the statutory text that says federal subsidies for insurance premiums will be available to anyone who buys a plan on “an Exchange established by the State.” Question: Does Healthcare.gov, the exchange built by the federal government after 34 states refused to build their own exchanges, qualify as an “Exchange established by the State”? Or do only state exchanges qualify?

The most liberal appeals court in the country.....never.
“Spellcheck was bad enough — but not the d-mn devices want to decide for themselves what word to put in there.
(I know — I still should have proofread)”
The “new” spellcheckers are so intrusive and so often wrong, that I just disabled all of them on my computer. Some of the “conclusions” they were “reaching” for me made a stupid keystroke error into a completely unintelligible babble.
We’ll see. Looks like they’re grabbing at straws. And in any case, the author of the article got the political implications right. If dear leader decides to extend the subsidies by imperial decree, who is going to do anything about it?
That’s what I meant! It’s only going to lead to universal health care.
Not going to happen. Not now, not ever!
Since when does the adminstration care what the courts rule ?
Unless it’s in their favor...
This guy is trying to find ways around a SCOTUS ruling, you think he cares about this court ?
anyone have ANY confidence in the courts to do what’s right by America? Zero, squat, nada,
How about the Congress, Senate?
Nope they are in on big money and to hell with ya all.
And as for this punk ass Chicago thug in the his white hut?
What a total dumbass obammy turned out to be.
Other than read a teleprompter and watch ESPN, this baboso s a worthless dog.
They ruled it a tax which was in their favor.
Of course they applauded that.
F U B O!
I pray that USG courts start following the _law_; this _Health_Care_law_ is unlawful. It violates the supreme law of USA, period. That SCOTUS or any other USG court would decree this is quite unlikely; they don’t follow law; they don’t represent the law anymore; they certainly don’t represent you USAians.
Party!
Here’s a good article on the subject:
After reading that I don’t see how the courts could possibly rule in favor of Obama.
(or what the Supreme Court farts!)
Bump
Finally, they have a living breathing law.
